The Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift rumors are slowly burning, and Ian Eagle just helped fan the flames.
With Kelce returning to the Kansas City Chiefs lineup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, he made an immediate impact on their offense. Early in the third quarter, the Chiefs found themselves trying to pull away from Jacksonville in the red zone. They went to Kelce, who the Jaguars curiously left uncovered for one of the easiest touchdowns he’ll ever score.
And as Kelce celebrated hitting pay dirt, Eagle dropped a perfect line about the superstar tight end finding a “blank space” in the end zone. Ha, get it?

The exact nature of Kelce and Swift’s dynamic is still unclear. But this was quite a deft way by Eagle to work a reference in.
This was how Twitter reacted to Ian Eagle's Taylor Swift reference
